Kristyn’s Soup Tips

  • How much to serve: One serving is between 8-12 ounces. A soup cup can usually hold 8 ounces and a soup bowl can hold 12 ounces.ย When serving as a side dish, the average soup serving is between ยพ – 1 cup. When serving as a main dish, the average soup serving is about 1 ยฝ cups.
  • Serving soup: Keeping soup warm at a dinner party can be easily done by using a crock pot or a chafing dish.
  • How to thicken soup: Put 1-2 tablespoons of flour (per cup of soup) in a separate bowl with a cup of hot liquid from the soup. Mix the two until smooth and pour it into the soup. If using Cornstarch: Use 2 tablespoons per cup of soup. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a little cold water until it is very smooth. Then, gradually stir the mixture into the hot liquid until it is blended.
  • Make sure you cut your veggies roughly the same size that way they cook at the same rate.
  • To save time, you can buy fresh, frozen cut-up or chopped vegetables at the supermarket.
  • Donโ€™t cheat on cooking time. Simmering soups over low heat brings out the flavors. When cooking soups that contain dairy products, make sure to heat them slowly and donโ€™t allow them to come to a boil. This could cause the ingredients to separate.ย 
  • High on a slow cooker is about 300ยฐF. Low is about 200ยฐF. One hour on high equals about two hours on low.
  • Ways to make your soup more flavorful: Opt for using the more flavorful chicken or beef stock instead of broth. If a soup recipe calls for cooked meat, using seasoned cooked meat really lifts the entire soup.
